ActionScript 2.0 :: Accessing Outside Variables From Functions?
Aug 1, 2004
how to access variables that are declared in a movie clip from a function declared in that same movie clip.
i.e.
****************************
var int1 = 1
var int2 = 2
[Code]....
I'm trying to do this in the main movie clip of a movie that I plan on importing dynamically in another movie. I've tried to use this.int1++, but I think that flash was looking for a variable that belongs to "myfunction" when I did that. I could just use _root.int1++ but like I said, I plan on dynamically loading this into another movie, in which case it would be pointing to the wrong movie.

How would you go about accessing a function or variable from a parent clip if the clip accessing has been loaded using the Loader() constructor in AS3?

I have a file which loads a series of SWFs. It loads one, allows it to play to completion, then stops. Right now, it will just wait for the user to press a button and select the next one. However, I need it to play them sequentially. Is there any way for the SWFs which get loaded to access the functions which control the SWF loading?

I've been working my way towards better OOP design lately and I've come across a problem with accessing functions in other classes from my Main class. Here is the code:
Main.as
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyDown);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, onKeyUp);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fireBullet);
They are listening for functions that are within the Player.as class, these functions control the dynamics/movement of the player itelf. But for some reason I'm getting a 1120 error(access of undefined property). Basically how do you listen/access for functions within a different class?

I'm sorry if this has been answered 1,000 times, but I am so confused with everything!! In the main timeline of my movie, I have a container movieclip called "content". I want to load an external swf into content, and then access the functions in that swf. I can load it no problem, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to access the functions, I can't seem to find it anywhere!

I'm creating a soundboard, and and I've been using Flash for about 2 weeks and Actionscript for about a week, so you'll have to excuse my ignorance. I've used google to look for specific things to no avail so here I am.Okay, so, I have a soundboard that, when pressing a button, it will hide or show certain buttons on the page, to give the feeling of multiple pages. All my visibility stuff works like a champ.
Right now, in the working version of my soundboard, I'm not using functions to instantiate my linkable objects, create the array, or populate the array to hold the linkable objects. I would like to use functions to make my code less obtuse. I looked around for a while trying to figure out how to pass an array of objects into a function but i haven't had much success. I'm not quite sure if it's even possible to do. These are the errors I get:
1120: Access of undefined property playArraySound001.
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method play through a reference with static type Class.
1120: Access of undefined property playArraySound001.
1120: Access of undefined property GordonSoundArray.
1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 1.
The first code is what works, the next code is the stuff that doesn't work.This is the working version
Code:
//////////// CODE FOR PLAYING SOUNDS
//// This is creating an instance of the Linkable object
var playArraySound001:Link_10_minutes = new Link_10_minutes();
var playArraySound002:Link_3_eggs = new Link_3_eggs();

I use the following jQuery code to access functions in my SWF (FP 10.1 SWF embedded via SWFObject): $('#FlashApp')[0].someFunc(); This works fine in every browser.. except for Internet Explorer (surprise!). Surely, the point of jQuery is to make this code work across all browsers? I'd really rather not write extra code to check for IE. How can I talk to my SWF in a browser independent way?

I've made two custom classes ("banana" and "box"). As I start my application I create two new objects from these classes - first I create a banana object and then a box object. The banana class/object has a property/variable ("weight") that I set with information from an external XML file, thus it takes a while for it to receive a value.
My problem is that my box object needs to access the "weight" property of the banana project, just after the box object has been created. The problem is that the banana object hasn't finished initialising when I make the request from the box object...
Is there a way of either check the status of another class (initialisation status that is), or is there another way of preventing the box object to either be created before the banana object is initialised?

Short description of my project:I'm making a "flash-car-damage-registration-program" where a user can click on a part of a car, make two choices (from two comboboxes) that describes the damage, and then save it in a datagrid withing flash.I have split up the code in different class files:I have a damage.as class file that describes the damage and its properties.I have a carPart.as class file that extends the Movieclip class. This sets all the propertiesof each carpart and where the roll-over/out eventlisteners are, pluss som escriptive text to each carpart. This works the way I want it to. This is just to quickly give you an idea of what I'm working on.So to the real question or problem: I have a LoadMyXmlData.as class file where I load some xml data, this works fine. A function in this class takes a combobox and a xmllist as parameters.
I want to populate the mentioned comboboxes from the xml data. Both comboboxes are on the stage within another movieclip, but I can seem to access them. (yes, they have instancenames etc) I get error 1120: 'Access of undefined property'. I have tried ways like: containingMc.comboboxMc' and so forth but no luck. I have been searching the web for days for a solution to my problem, but nothing so far.

I'm working on an mp3 player. It makes use of a custom scrollbar I found here: [URL]
I've gotten it to work so far, but there is one bit I would like to add. I would like it to scroll to specific y-coords when a button is clicked. The code for the scrollbar is all in an external AS file, which is referred to by an exported movieclip in the main fla.
how I would go about referring to this file, or just some other method of doing this? I'll paste the AS code as well as the basic fla code.
fla code:
Code:
var s:Sprite = new Sprite();
txt_mc.spacer.visible = false;
sb.init(txt_mc, "easeOutBack",0,true,2);

Seems like the class loads before the myFunctions.as file so the functions are unavailable at this time. I get that error message :

If I have a function and I want to call a variable from another function (only 1variable), how do I do it? I know in the olden days you could set the variable to local or global, but that does not seem to work anymore. There is only 1 variable I need access to, but all the tutorials I have come across talk about making classes for multiple variables.
e.g. function2();
{
variable_b = variable_a;
}

Why does this not work???
Code:
function myFunction(val0,val1,val2){
trace(this["val"+0);
trace(this["val"+1);
trace(this["val"+2);
}
myFunction("hello","test","hi")
All i get is undefined. If i just put "trace(val0)" i will get "Hello" -- so i cannot work out how to get the value of the dynamic variable inside hte function?

I got this variable:[code]is there a possibility that the compiler gets confused because my variable has the same name like the functions's parameter (type = type)? i'm not certain about this topic. Normally I'd write my function's parameter like this (if such a case occurs):[code]just to make sure the names do not exactly match.

I can't figure this out.
Code:
function createTextBoxes() {
for (var n=0; n<caption_obj.textXML.length; n++){[code].....
The XML portion is working fine. What I'd like to be able to do is access the created text fields outside of the function. For example:
captions1.alphaTo(0,1,"linear",1);
This works fine when it's inside of the function, but outside of it, it won't. Basically I need to time the captions to things that are happening in an animation. The animations are also tween driven, so it would be something like obj_mc.tween("_x", 200,2,"linear", 5,fadeOutCaption1); with fadeOutCaption1 being a function that fades out the first caption and brings in the second. If there is a better/more effecient way of doing this let me know.I also can't seem to apply any styles to the text field. Do I need to create an array or object with ["captions"+n] and then pull from that?

PHP code:
$returnVars = array();

The code was adapted from a tutorial using a class. However I do not get on with classes so wont be using any.

I have finally started with AS3 and flip-'eck its a different animal that AS2
I have a swf called login.swf and in it have declared the variables var total:uint=0; and loginState:Boolean=false
All my scripts for logging in sending/receiving variable from/to server scripts are all working!
So... when a user supplies a correct password another swf (userLogged.swf) is loaded (note: in AS3 this process is seriously different than in AS2) swf dont seem to be loaded 'into' another movieclip anymore... and this leads me to the puzzle!
How do I access variables declared in the project.swf, from within the userLogged.swf!
the old AS2 way = trace (_root.loginState);
or trace (_root.project.loginState)!
I am stumped by this new approach of AS3 of loading in other swf files. The _root. options is no longer available in AS3 (that much I've descovered, some tuts say use root. but I cannot get that to work)
trace (root.loginState)
or
var userLoggedIn=root.loginState
gives me the error
1119: Access of possibly undefined property loginStatus through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.
when I try to publish the userLogged.swf
